Things I have heard are good but for whatever reason (laziness) I have not managed to hear
* Stuff Jam Stevens
* Isolee
* Brocade Fire

YSIs would be smashing - tho I think there was a Stuff Jam YSI yesteday so I could dig that out. (It's all take take take with me at wobs)

Also a repeat request for ppl to JOIN US ON http://www.last.fm/group/poptimists

If you are not a last.fm user yet go to http://www.last.fm/postsignup.php to sign up and see how to install the gizmo needed. If you have yr computah music player telling last fm what yr playing (via the magic of the gizmo) it can make you weekly charts, and it'll make charts for the poptimists group as a whole too. come on! CHARTS. You love charts of pop music.

The Poptimists Advent Calendar Day 21

Band Aid - Do They Kno It's Christmas (Extended Mix)

Obviously this is a classic anyway and you can relive its classicism via this 12" - the clanging chimes, tonight Thank God etc. BUT ALSO you get bizarre string stabs courtesy surely of Lord sukrat and you get an assortment of pop stars wishing you a merry Wobs. Sadly this recording exposes the tale of a member of Spandau Ballet saying "Merry Christmas to all our fans in Africa" as an urban mythXoR but it's well worth hearing anyway, especially for D Bowie and the guy from Big Country and Sir Bob and and...well, everybody, really.
